Palms

The same Phoenix palms on four different days. Daylight, a green storm cast, blue dusk and a violet night. Each color happened inside the camera. Nothing was added afterward.

The same palms under a dark green, stormy sky — II · Storm

Palms against deep blue dusk with a red leak on the left — III · Dusk

Palms against a purple sky with a magenta and amber leak along the bottom — IV · Night

Four matched prints on premium matte archival paper, in the 3:2 shape of the original film frame, so nothing is cropped. They come unframed and fit standard 8x12 or 12x18 frames.

Grain, dust and light leaks are part of the original negatives. They are not printing defects.

The camera leaks

These rolls were shot from car windows and backyards across the Valley: freeway mountains, palms, saguaro, block walls, and the dog. The camera let light in on every roll. Some came back green, some yellow and magenta, and one came back cyan from end to end.

The leaks stayed in. The best frames are the ones where the leak and the desert share the picture.

Insert from the photo lab

Three of the five rolls came back with a Fujifilm card titled “Light Fogged Film.” That fog is the look you see here.
